DAY ONE

Success! Day One is complete. I ate just under my 1,500 calorie goal, my pedometer reads 12,982 steps, and I almost finished eating before 8 pm....almost!

The hardest part of today was my two mile walk. There were several times I wanted to cut the walk short, turn around early. But I didn't, I pushed through, did the full two miles. And just when I had had enough, Josh Turner's "Me and God" came on my iPod. Check out some of the lyrics...

There ain't nothing that can't be doneBy me and GodAin't nobody come in between me and GodOne day we'll live togetherWhere the angels trodMe and God

He's my FatherHe's my friendThe beginningAnd the endHe rules the worldWith a staff and rodWe're a teamMe and God

I am weak and he is strongMe and GodHe forgives me when I'm wrongMe and GodHe's the one I lean onWhen life gets hardMe and God

I even got teary eyed listening to it. I know that it is going to take Me and God to get through this. I am so thankful that I have Him, running right beside me (pulling me when I need Him to!), cheering me along and helping me through. And it doesn't hurt that someone as cute as Josh Turner reminded me of that!

Here is my food for today. I have to come up with a better way of posting it so it doesn't look so messy!
